虽然一些洞察农村警察的职业压力的来源和范围存在，从历史上看，研究人员主要集中在他们的警务风格，而不是军官做什么，他们如何感受到他们的工作之间的关系作为警察在农村管辖区。为了解决这一空白的知识和文献，我们利用收集的数据进行半结构化的采访与20名现役警官，他们每个人目前被分配到一个在加拿大东部的一个省的7个农村警察支队和实地观察警察在同一个省的农村支队工作。在采用角色理论的角度来看，我们首先揭示了人员如何操作他们的角色，执法人员，维和人员，社会工作者和/或知识工作者。然后，我们研究了他们的角色紧张的经验，由于他们的理想与实际的职业角色之间的不匹配。大多数警官渴望担任执法或社会工作者的角色，他们认为这与他们对“警官”的理解最为密切相关。然而，大多数人认为他们执行的任务与不太理想的角色有关，这与角色紧张有关。讨论了为农村警务征聘的警官的培训建议。
Although some insight into the sources and scope of occupational stress among rural police officers exists, historically, researchers have focused largely on their policing styles, rather than the relationship between what officers do and how they feel about their work as police in rural jurisdictions. To address this lacuna in knowledge and literature, we draw on data collected from semi-structured interviews conducted with 20 active police officers, each of whom is presently assigned to one of seven rural police detachments in a province in Eastern Canada and field observation of police working in a rural detachment in this same province. In adopting a role theory perspective, we first reveal how officers operationalize their roles as law enforcers, peacekeepers, social workers and/or knowledge workers. We then examine their experiences of role strain as a result of mismatches between their desired versus actual occupational role(s). The majority of officers aspired to hold either the law enforcement or social worker role, which they saw as being most closely associated with their perceptions of what it means to be a ‘police officer’. However, most felt they performed tasks related to less desirable roles, which was tied to role strain. Training recommendations are discussed for officers recruited for rural policing.
